description: The specific objectives of this review are to: review established epidemiological trends in the international literature on young worker injuries; highlight the metrics used to measure the impact of young worker injury prevention programs or workplace safety initiatives; categorize these metrics into three domains; and summarize the main themes emerging in each domain and discuss the main gaps in the literature.

The high injury rate for this age group has prompted special interest in developing strategies to protect young workers. Governments, employers, researchers, healthcare providers, schools and parents have long recognized the need to make youth occupational injury prevention a priority. The reasons that youth are vulnerable to injury at work are reasonably well characterized, but less well understood is how effective injury prevention programs aimed at youth actually are. In order to measure the effectiveness of a targeted intervention, appropriate metrics must be applied. Identifying the correct tools to use is the first step to effectively leveraging these metrics and producing meaningful reductions i…
